That's useful.

I've got my wife working on the Institutes Ethics course. In the meantime, I ordered a fresh copy of her most recent transcript and found quite a few surprises. She actually has several upper level courses that I wasn't aware of when I filled out the spreadsheet the first time. Here are the new courses I found:

ENG 351  British Lit II
ENG 403  Language Studies for Teachers
LIS 417  Lit. & Related Media for Children
GHY 341  Geography & World Political Affairs
HIS 370  Mississippi History
PSY 374  Educational Psychology
MAT 309  Math for Elementary Teachers II
MAT 310  Math for Elementary Teachers III
CIE 403  Kindergarten - Primary Education
IT  365  Computer Applications in Education

This looks to me like it should be more than enough to satisfy her UL requirements. In fact, I think she has everything except her capstone and ethics. But I still think it's worthwhile for her to take a study.com course, just for the discount. Am I right about that?

Yes, she should do the study.com course for the discount.

I will also say, she should apply and send that transcript over, to make sure that any of those teaching courses don't come in as EDU courses, because EDU won't count in the BALS AOS or even Gen Ed.

If by some chance they do come in as EDU, then she could switch degrees to the BSPS which will allow EDU courses in the AOS, but it's going to be trickier to figure out what else needs to be taken.
